Sumario:Betting on a transdisciplinary research strategy between International Relations (RI) and Intelligence Studies (EI) implies a triple commitment: epistemological rigor, theoretical-methodological relevance and a clear political-ethical responsibility, to develop adaptive analytical lines with a voice of its own before the local investigative needs of both fields. Thus, this article constitutes a critical reflection aimed at evaluating the methodological relevance of transdisciplinarity in construction, towards the production of new knowledge that allows to expanding the understanding of the objects of study of the international world and of intelligence in a glocal way. The findings show that a large part of the literature in RI and EI bases its production on orthodox methods, marginalizing transdisciplinary potentialities and implementing pragmatic views with little epistemological reflection of the method.
